Liebster Award


It was lovely to wake up to a tweet from the lovely Nadine over at @_afrobritchick whos blog you can find on http://www.afrobritchick.com/.
It was a tweet to say that she had very kindly nominated me for the Liebster award. I love finding new blogs and it is always heart warming to know that others are enjoying reading mine so this sure did start my day off with a skip in my step lol.

Now according to Nadine you have to answer the 11 questions given to you by the person who has nominated you and then you have to tag 11 others excluding the person who has nominated you, & set them 11 questions to answer. The idea being that we all get to find out a bit more about each other and get to discover lots of new lovely blogs out there.

So lets get into it ...

1. What inspired you to start blogging?
I have been passionate about writing & rambling lol since I was small. I tried to blog for years on and off but never really had the time to dedicate to blogging seriously. I got diagnosed and had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from my kidney last year & it threw everything into prospective. I decided to dedicate my time to things I actually enjoyed doing and this was one of them & im so glad I did.

2. What is your lifetime ambition?
My lifetime ambition has always to become a writer. I have always been a city girl but since having my little boy my ambition is also to move out of London to somewhere quiet and work as a freelance writer.

3. What is your favorite saying?
I really love quotes and sayings and quirky little positive anecdotes that keep me going. Its hard to choose one but I really like the simple yet effective saying 'Nobody can hurt you without your permission' I think it just says alot about life in general, as in we are in control of ourselves and our feelings, don't give control to others when it comes to how you feel.

4. How long does it take you to get ready on a normal day?
I can be up and ready to leave within an hour and a half on a normal day with my little boy, im im just going to work I can be up and out the door within half an hour lol.

What are you most passionate about?
My whole life revolves about my son and I am passionate about giving him the most enjoyable and fun life I can.

6. What are you listening to at the moment?
I have had THE 1975 album on repeat for months I just cant stop listening to it lol

7. What is your best childhood memory?
My nan and grandad used to have a holiday home in Kent and we used to go there at every opportunity we could, weekends, school holidays the lot & spending time down there near the beach is my best childhood memory.

8. Where would you like to visit that you havent already?
As I have mentioned before I have never been on an airoplane so I would love to spend some time in a hot country on a beautiful beach with my family.

9. Hot or cold
It is getting freezing in London all of a sudden and i am so tired right now it is making me feel even colder lol

10. When you are feeling down what do you do to lift your spirits?
I workout. Without a shadow of a doubt I can always guarantee that I will feel good after doing a workout so if I am feeling low I will workout or listening to some upbeat music.

11. Who is your favorite disney character?
This may sound wierd because it is not your usual disney princess. I love the cat Marie from the aristocats lol and i always have she is just so cute and i bloody love her lol.

That was so fun to do lol. So please find below the 11 bloggers I have nomianted and the 11 questions I set for them?

  1. Hi Laura!

    Thanks so much for nominating me! I remember being so excited when I got nominated and even now 3 months in I get super excited hehe!

    I have posted so many of these on my blog but seeing as I got to know about you I didn't want to just say thanks and leave it at that! SOOOO Im going to post my answers here!

    1. Put the music on your ipod/iphone, press shuffle then skip 3 songs, what song do you end up with? - Lady Gaga - Scheibe
    2. What is your favorite thing to post about? - Reviews, I love talking about a product im loving and show you how i use it and how it works for me! I don't think im really that influential but most of the time people end up buying things I've sugested.

    3. What food couldnt you live without? lolummm seeing as I'm on a diet I guess I should say something good like fruit.. buttt for those treats and bad habbits I'd have to say chinese!
    4. What was your best memory of 2013? As cheesy as it sounds It was probably starting my blog.
    5. Hot chocolate or tea? hmmm Cuppa tea, milk 2 sugars, nice and strong. MMMM
    6. What is your top hair care tip? When drying your hair, aim the hairdryer down, and on a cooler warm heat. The hairdryer helps push your cuticles down in the hair making the hair smoother, if you blow it in every direction the hair cuticles dry sticking up making it frizzy and feeling damaged. Then go back in with a round brush and you can turn up the head a little and smoothe out the ends before creating the look you want.
    7. What number 1 rule do you live by? You have to be a friend to have a friend.
    8. What beauty product couldnt you live without? I think Now that I have it in my life, I'd never want to put my face on without it and thats the Lioele Triple the soloution BB cream.
    9. What country would you like to visit? Japan!
    10. What is your favorite childhood TV programme? Are you afraid of the dark.
